Now this is my first time hearing All Shall Perish. Musically this band and album is great for death metal. Nice lead guitars as well. I did some checking on this band and learned that their style is more commonly referred to as ‘deathcore metal.’ Now if this is true I can tell it’s a little bit different from all the other death metal bands I listen too.
First I had to get accustomed to the vocal screams. They’re a little different than I’m used to. But after listening to this album all the way through, its not that bad at all. You can say I was getting into it.
Like said, the music is very well done. Very heavy stuff. The screams go from deep death metal growls to higher screams. It is a very interesting mix. I think there has to be some hardcore influence in this band. So the style deathcore, I think, fits them well.
I really like the guitar work on the song “The Day Of Justice.” The whole song is really cool too. “There Is No Business to Be Done on a Dead Planet” is another very good song that stands out on this album to me. Again awesome heavy guitar work. Everything seems to mix well with that song. I also really got into the song called “Better Living through Catastrophe” And there are more songs I could name that I also liked on this album.
Honestly, when I first started to listen to this album I didn’t think I was going to like it. But I have learned through the love of music to keep an open mind. Every band shouldn’t sound alike. So when I kept that in mind while listening to this album, I really started to get into it. It’s a nice change to other things I really like and normally listen to.
So if you want a cool death metal / deathcore album, then this album by All Shall Perish, The Price of Existence is worth a listen to. Or if you are unsure then try it on for size to see how it feels on you. Again, it’s different from what I normally listen to. But it did not make me want to rip my ears off so I didn’t have to listen to it anymore.
So, I will say ‘Good work’ to All Shall Perish for the album The Price of Existence!(Chad Boyd)
